picklescan before 0.0.21 does not treat 'pip' as an unsafe global.
MEDIUM 5.3EPSS 1.68%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.68%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
picklescan before 0.0.21 does not treat 'pip' as an unsafe global. An attacker could craft a malicious model that uses Pickle to pull in a malicious PyPI package (hosted, for example, on pypi.org or GitHub) via `pip.main()`. Because pip is not a restricted global, the model, when scanned with picklescan, would pass security checks and appear to be safe, when it could instead prove to be problematic.
